yes. but no offers, etc.

Right, they can round about an offer, just nothing official till the 1rst. Wonder how handshake agreements would be valued with Homer still GM?

I don't understand the Sarah Baicker hate.
- johndewar


I definitely don't hate her, but I get how people think she comes off as annoying.

I don't know if it's her idea but I think it's funny how CSN is running this "free agent target" series every day and every day they feature a player and explain how the Flyers cannot afford to sign them.

If they are looking to replace anyone on D, it is most likely going to be Grossmann. And, if that's the case, I'd rather let Lauridsen and Alt battle it out for that spot, along with maybe a journeyman free agent who can fill the 7th man role. It would be nice if our 6th and 7th dmen each had cap hits of under 1 million.

And during the season the discussion will revolve around how the 3rd pair is getting abused and a big weak spot on the team. When you don't have that stud 25 minute a game top d man, you have have more veteran depth, and that costs a little more for that depth.

But with Hexy at the helm, maybe a new trust will form.

This post wins today. You did however have a cheat in MOAT setting you up for that slam dunk, so you both should get credit.

Anyone think that if Chicago misses out on Kesler that they might be a place for Vinny. Its everywhere that they want a 2C. Kesler will cost either Saad or Terivoinen. Vinny could be a cheaper trade option for them and they have the speed on the wings to compensate for Vinnys lack of speed.

Just after this was taken he committed a needless hooking penalty on the parking lot attendant.

according to capgeek, Chicago has 4.6m in cap space, and only one goalie under contract.. i'm not sure what they'd be willing to send back, if anything.

Somebody needs to explain to me why that makes sense, because the whole "well, he helped recruited Vinny" argument seems flimsy. Lavi's system is all about skating and pressure... Poile has always had a preference for really good skaters... Vinny doesn't seem to fit either of those.

Was Laviolette not the Coach when the Flyers signed Lecavalier?

I don't like the fact that she's an unreliable source. I still think her understanding of the game is better than Panaccio, Servalli and Carchidi.
